Temporal upscaling of MODIS instantaneous FAPAR improves forest gross primary productivity (GPP) simulation

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023
Gross primary productivity (GPP) is a measure of carbon uptake by terrestrial ecosystems for carbon neutrality and serves as a key indicator for the Sustainable Development Goals. The instantaneous Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation

Gross pelagic primary production in the Ems-Dollard estuary

Journal of Sea Research, 2023
Anthropogenic changes to estuaries, usually highly productive systems, may result in increased turbidity levels, suppress pelagic primary production and negatively affect ecosystem functions.The Ems-Dollard estuary, enclosed between the Netherlands and Germany, is such an estuary with a long history of human induced changes.

Untangling the environmental drivers of gross primary productivity in African rangelands

Communications Earth & Environment
Precipitation variability is forecast to increase under climate change but its impacts on vegetation productivity are complex. Here, we use generalised additive models and remote sensing-derived datasets to quantify the effect of precipitation amount ...

Global gross primary productivity and water use efficiency changes under drought stress

Environmental Research Letters, 2017
Drought can affect the structure, composition and function of terrestrial ecosystems, yet drought impacts and post-drought recovery potentials of different land cover types have not been extensively studied at a global scale. We evaluated drought impacts

Relationship Between Knowledge and Compliance With Safety Measures: Evidence From COVID‐19

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Compliance with health safety protocols is important for protecting public health, particularly in agricultural sectors where disease outbreaks can disrupt production and market access. Despite its economic significance, we know little about what drives protocol compliance.

Physiological changes induced by green fodder expansion into grasslands and croplands enhance water-use efficiency in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau

Agricultural Water Management
The rapid green fodder expansion in native grassland and cropland in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau (a rain-fed region), driven by the increasing forage demand, has altered vegetation patterns and potentially affected carbon and water cycles.

Climate Change Agricultural Comparative Advantage and the US Trade Balance

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current science indicates that warming and elevated atmospheric CO2 will have ambiguous results for crop productivity depending on crop type and geographic location, whereas increased heat stress makes livestock and human labor less productive.
